What is the difference between travel search engines and travel booking sites? Majority of travelers today use the internet to search for flights, hotels or car rentals online. However, not all of us are aware of the difference between the two.

Travel bookings sites work in a similar way as travel agencies. Many of them actually started as addition to already established high street travel agencies, but the online travel booking site has in many cases taken over as the core business.

Travel search engines on the other hand are relatively new phenomenon as they base on searching the internet, some of the best ones are launched as late as 2005, or even later.

The key difference between the two is that travel search engines are search engines, like Google or Bing. They use search technology, often known as spiders, to visit websites of airlines, travel agencies, hotels, and car rental companies, and gather travel information tha ... Read more »

When you visit (or return to) India, you will be given India Arrival Card (Foreigners only, not for Indian citizens) and a separate customs declaration form in the plane. Please complete those forms and keep them ready. As soon as you deplane, you will have to stand in line for immigration clearance. Give the arrival card (if applicable) and customs forms to the officer. They will return your passport and stamped customs form. An officer will check to make sure you have the required passport, visa, etc. and will stamp your passport as proof that you legally entered India on a given date. Make sure your passport is stamped and has the correct date before you leave immigration counter.

Once you clear immigration formalities, you will proceed to the luggage trolley to retrieve your luggage from the conveyer belt. (Luggage trolleys are free.)

Before you leave the airport, you will see two channels to exit.

There are two channels for customs clearance:

Homeschool and travel, the two go together. Hover over this image to bookmark it to Pinterest.

Homeschool and travel, my two big passions in life. I m as enthusiastic about the one as I am the other. Homeschool probably doesn t mean what you think it does. It is not school at home we don t do lessons or distance education. I don t fill the boys up with the same stuff the schools try to teach. We just learn, in total freedom.

Homeschool is the preferred term in our home state, Queensland, it incorporates unschooling. In other parts of the world Home Education is more commonly used, to separate our style of learning from that employed in schools. Worldschooling is a way of describing any education provided by, or enhanced by, travel and the world.

As the boys get older I find myself updating these old posts. What worked when they were 7 and 5 isn t what works today. Home education is fluid and adaptable, that s one of the beauties of it.

Travel planning grows more complicated every year—which is why the advice of an expert can make all the difference.

In an era of DIY vacations, travelers have more tools—online travel agencies, review sites, booking apps—at their fingertips than ever before. But when it comes to expert advice about a destination and customization, you can’t beat a good agent.

“Today’s agents provide insider access, learn and understand your desires and personality, and are there for you 24/7, before, during, and after your trip,” says Kimberly Wilson Wetty, co-president and co-owner of Valerie Wilson Travel.

To stay competitive in the age of TripAdvisor, agents like Wetty are trying to appeal to a younger, more tech-savvy clientele by offering what no online service can replicate: personalization. Your agent can offer options (coveted dinner reservations; last-minute romantic surprises) and handle potential mishaps (a missed flight; a dank hotel room; a hurricane; a medical e ... Read more »

Compared with other cities in the western US, Las Vegas is a relatively recent arrival. It was founded in 1905, and for many years it was merely a small settlement in the middle of the desert. However, several pivotal events would come together in less than twenty years that would help Las Vegas grow into what it is today:

Welcome!

Southern Californians crowd Interstate 15 every weekend going back and forth to Vegas. Expect this drive to be crowded and frustrating, unless you can come and go at off-peak hours. However, many find the 280 mile (450 km) drive along I-15 restful and scenic. Attractions along the I-15 include the California towns of Barstow and Baker ; the Mojave Desert ; and small hotel-casinos in Nevada at Primm (at the California border) and Jean, respectively. Those who traverse the I-15 should remember that they are crossing a desert, and should carry (and drink) ample amounts of water, especially on hot summer days where temperatures can reach 110°F ...

Spring months of March to May and autumn (between September and November) are often considered the best time to book flights to Paris, as the locals have returned from their summer mass exodus and you’ll get a true insight into the city’s usual ambient atmosphere.

The major tourist season and the most expensive time to book a flight to Paris, runs from Easter to mid-September, with another peak in the winter months.

Find a cheap flight to Paris during July and mid-January the months are packed with the couture fashion shows, and Bastille Day on 14 July is also a very busy time. Although summer is guaranteed to attract hordes of tourists, Parisians usually abandon the city to go on their own holidays at this time. As a result, some shops and restaurants may be closed so it’s worth checking the opening hours of particular venues in advance, but there should still be ample choice. Summer is the perfect time to enjoy leisurely strolls around the city and lazy, warm eveni ... Read more »

These days, with money so tight my trip planning process always starts with a hunt for a deal. I'll bet you have your favorite websites to check first for flight specials. George Hobica hopes one of them is AirfareWatchdog.com. He founded that site 15 years ago to help connect travelers on a budget with the best airline buys. George joins us to talk travel deals and answer some of your trip planning questions.

Is it easier or harder to get an amazing discount on a flight now compared to 15 years ago?

"The reason we started AifareWatchdog was because it was easier to find fares if you knew where to look. What happened was when there were more airlines, there was more competition. We would see many unadvertised airfare wars, where some fares would go down to $88 roundtrip coast to coast. Delta would attack Northwest, Northwest would attack Delta. Of course, now they are the same airline, so that doesn't happen so much," says Hobica. "We also saw a lot of fat finger far ... Read more »

European and World Backpacking

TWO HUNDRED YEARS ago the cost was seven years to a lifetime of servitude for average people making a one-way crossing of the Atlantic. Now it can be funded by a few days of waiting tables.

When booking through an agent, always specify you want the lowest possible fare, as there may be specials which do not fall under economy or APEX. Moreover, not every agent--even with the budget specialists listed below--will be equally competent or motivated to find the cheapest ticket. They may not know about a great deal the next cubicle has been selling all week, or the commission may not merit bothering much.

Likewise, buying a ticket on the Internet is not the same as getting the cheapest price. As with any travel agent, you may be offered the lowest price, an average price, or a test price. You still have to make comparisons and move boldly when a deal presents itself. A good strategy is to book the best-value, fully-refundable fare ea ... Read more »

Winter is one of the seasons of the year that I never wish for thus, I always travel to different destinations where I can enjoy some sun. This has been a tradition ever since I joined campus and I am now in my final year of my undergraduate study. Last year, I chose to travel to Egypt in the company of four other college mates and we sure had the best of times. This nation is an enigmatic treasure as it is home to cultural as well as archeological sites that are simply unimaginable. With many destinations to choose from, we decided to get away from the capital to Hurghada that is famed for its turquoise waters as well as coral reefs on the shores of the Red Sea. Amazingly, this resort town is as busy as Cairo and has great attractions that can be accessed easily and this is reflected in the number of tourists coming here especially from Europe.

Although many people always think of the great Pyramids of Giza when you talk of travel to Egypt, we opted to forget about these ic ... Read more »

Freccia Train Photo. by Martha Bakerjian

Train travel in Italy is cheap compared to surrounding countries. But there s a catch: major rail lines in Italy tend to have a vast ridership and seats during rush hours can be difficult to find on Italian regional trains. We can offer tips that will get you over this hurdle. But first, the basics on train travel in Italy.

Traveling by train is usually the best option for visiting

We ll list the types of trains by cost and speed, expensive and fast trains first. These trains are all part of the national rail line, Trenitalia .

Intercity are relatively fast trains that run the length of Italy, stopping at cities and large towns. First and second class service is available. First class coaches offer slightly better

seats and are generally less populated. Seat reservations are compulsory on the Intercity Plus trains, and the fee is included in the ticket price. Seat reservations can be made for most Inter ... Read more »

The national airline is Vietnam Airlines (VN) (www.vietnamairlines ) who run direct flights from London Gatwick to Hanoi. It is served by many airlines via nearby hubs, including Cathay Pacific (www.cathaypacific ) and Thai International (www.thaiairways ). Flights to Vietnam are at their most expensive around Christmas, New Year and Tet (January/February).

A new international terminal was opened at Ho Chi Minh City in 2015 but plans have already been approved for an out-of-town airport which will relegate Tan Son Nhat to domestic flights only.

For sheer diversity, it s hard to beat Turkey. The country seems to exist in multitudes of people, of natural landscapes, of cultures. It is a land of vast open spaces, massive mountain ranges, fertile valleys and rugged coastline, fast-growing cities and sleepy villages, bustling neon-lit seaside resorts and unfrequented beaches. Countless waves of invasions, rebellions and ongoing immigration have created a country that may surprise visitors with the breadth and depth of the cultural melting-pot, not just in the major cities but across the country, with Kurds, Greeks, Arabs and many more groups to be found.

A rich history has continually shaped Turkey, whilst leaving indelible marks - the country overflows with historic sites and archaeological wonders set in a varied and beautiful landscape. The Mediterranean coastline is punctuated with well-preserved Greco-Roman cities such as Pergamom and Ephesus. while the austere and rugged Anatolian plateau has cave churches hidden ... Read more »

Getting around Europe

To find the cheapest flights to Europe:

  • Plan a one-direction trip, such as London to Amsterdam to Madrid. Then buy an open-jaw ticket where you arrive in London and return home from Madrid.
  • Look into a surface-sector ticket if you’re traveling some of the legs of your trip via surface transport.
  • Icelandair has some great airfare deals if you fly via Reykjavik. Aer Lingus offers deals for flights to Europe via Dublin or Shannon.

Europe is well connected by planes, trains and buses. It is easy (and cheap) to take trips between major cities in Europe, especially if you start or finish in the UK, Ireland, Germany, or France—all countries where low-cost carriers fly extensive routes.

Trains run throughout mainland Europe and, since the Eurotunnel, also connect France to the UK. Check out www.raileurope.com for tickets and advice as well as interactive route maps.

While renting a car and driving in France can be a great way to get around if you are planning a leisurely route with many stops along the way, train travel is by far the fastest and easiest way to get around the country.

Trains link France with every country in Europe, usually through Paris or Lille. For regional travel within France, traveling by rail is also your best bet as inter-regional bus services in France are extremely limited. Buses are used extensively within regions (like states in the U.S.) or departements (like U.S. counties)—especially in rural areas with limited train lines—but they can be few and far between, and you are almost always better off opting to take the train.

Especially with France’s high-speed TGV. taking the train can often be even faster than air travel in France. Plus, while flying will require you to worry about transportation to and from the airport, train stations are almost without exception located in city centers, savi ... Read more »

Cambodia is one of my all time favorite destinations. It may be a flawed, corrupt, barren country, but it is filled with some of the most amazing people I ve ever encountered, rich history, delicious food, beautiful coastline, and a lively nightlife. Cambodia is a country still trying to find its wat. Development hasn’t been great, as corrupt officials have hindered growth by selling off most of the country to investors. But in all my visits here, I always fall more madly in love with the place and can t recommend it enough to everyone I meet.

Accommodation Most guesthouses have dorm beds for between $3-10 USD per night. Private rooms range from $5-13 USD per night. You can get comfortable hotels for $12-22 USD with air con, tv, and other amenities. Beyond that, the sky is the limit but I ve never needed to spend more than $25 USD per night for luxury in this country.

While living in Vietnam I found there frequently wasn't much information or decent photos of places to visit off the beaten track available on the internet - it may be easy to find information on towns on the Sinh Cafe routes but beyond that places were often something of a mystery.

It also seemed that many of the guides I came across didn't express the sheer beauty of the country, with dry descriptions and little information beyond where to sleep. I want to try and correct that with this blog and travel guide - although it is still early days - and plan to cover plenty of the hidden locations that make Vietnam so special.

Still, I'm not a fountain of all knowlege by any means, and I would welcome anyone who is so inclined to send in their own stories, tips and advice to the website to help it grow into an authoritative guide on travel in Vietnam. Similarly if you have questions about your upcoming visit please make contact and I'll do my best to offer any tips I can ... Read more »

Some destinations evoke mental images the moment their names are mentioned, and Vietnam is one of them. A frenetic and fascinating country, it calls to mind conical-hatted street vendors, water buffalo plodding across rice fields, mopeds buzzing through cities and floating markets on the Mekong River.

The days when Vietnam was best known for its conflict with America are long gone. From the temples of Hanoi and the islands of Halong Bay to the beaches of Nha Trang and the palaces of Hue, it is a country now firmly etched in the travel psyche.

At times, Vietnam is an assault on the senses. Life in its feverish cities is conducted largely on the streets, among chattering bia hois (pavement pubs) and steaming pho (noodle soup) stands. The country s two main cities Hanoi in the north, Ho Chi Minh in the south are different in many ways, but they share an intoxicating energy. Ancient pagodas and colonial houses jostle for space with new-build skyscrapers ... Read more »

Don't cry "rape" when you pass through one of the TSA's full-body scanners, because actual airport rape does happen, and it's not something to be taken lightly. In the early morning hours yesterday, a 26-yr-old man was arrested at Denver International Airport after sexually assaulting a 22-yr-old woman who was staying in the airport through the night after missing her connection.

The two allegedly began chatting at a bistro within the airport, but when the girl excused herself, the man followed then assaulted her. It was only when two of the airport employees outside saw the assault through the windows that 911 was called and the man arrested by airport security.

This crime should immediately cause a siren to go off in the heads of solo travelers who find themselves hanging out in airports, especially after hours. Being past TSA security on the "airside" end of an airport doesn't automatically guarantee safety, and in such a place of trans ... Read more »

By Insure - Last updated: Jan. 30, 2015

In a perfect world for beleaguered travelers, there would be no extensive security checks, delayed flights or lost baggage. Travel insurance aims to take some of the sting out of travel problems.

The need for travel insurance is primarily an economic one, says Jim Grace, president and CEO of InsureMyTrip, an online travel insurance comparison site. Travelersare concerned about protecting their investment.

Travel insurance is offered for cruises, tours, flights and vacation home rentals and can cover:

  • Medical: There is nothing worse than being sick when you are supposed to be on vacation. Medical travel insurance pays for doctor visits and illnesses that occur during your trip, such as treatment for malaria or food poisoning, prescription drugs and laboratory work to diagnose illnesses. Policies cover local ambulance service and emergency medical situations that require surgeries (and ofte ... Read more »

See Patagonia at the height of the season, when you'll have 18 hours of daylight and feel Patagonia's infamous wind at its strongest. There are just so many options open to you in addition to hiking, why not try glacier trekking, mountain biking and white water rafting on the rapids of the Futaleufu River?

If you want to visit last minute, the key is moving quickly and booking your flights. Availability in Chalten shouldn't be too difficult but in Torres del Paine it's likely that refugios will be fully booked. Don't worry though, it's warm enough to camp under the stars. If you're still in the planning stages of your trip but hope to go this season, it's a good idea to get flights booked as early as possible and make the most of Patagonia's summer before autumn sets in April.

Traveling by train in Morocco is the most efficient and comfortable way to get around. The train network in Morocco is not very extensive but many of the major tourist destinations are covered. Trains run between Marrakech. Fes. Casablanca (including the International Airport), Rabat. Oujda, Tangier and Meknes. If you want to head to the desert, Atlas Mountains, Agadir or Essaouira on the coast, you ll

have to get a bus, rental car or grand taxi to your destination. (See getting around Morocco for more information).

You can not make a reservation or purchase a train ticket outside of Morocco. Once you arrive however, go to the nearest train station and you can make reservations and purchase your tickets to anywhere in the country. The trains run often and it is usually not a problem to book just a day or so in advance of your trip.

If you are traveling from Tangier to Marrakech and you want to take the overnight train (departing Tangier at 21.05) you will jus ... Read more »

Planning to visit Grandma's for Thanksgiving or spend Christmas in Paris. Traveling over the holidays can be notoriously busy, expensive and stressful, but the news isn't all bad. There are still deals to be found, provided you shop carefully and plan ahead. Check out our 10 tips for holiday travel and find some joy this holiday season.

1. Avoid peak travel dates.

At Thanksgiving, Wednesday is the critical outbound "avoid" day as a rule. Traveling on Thanksgiving day proper is often a breeze and more affordable; there are often cut-rate airfare deals on Thanksgiving day.

On the return, Friday morning isn't bad at all, with each successive day getting a little busier, more difficult and more expensive through Sunday evening. The bottom line: If you are looking for a deal, you won't find one on the peak travel days. Travel off-peak whenever possible.

Christmas and New Year's Day fall on Wednesdays this year, so travel will likely be more spread out than ... Read more »

From kimono-clad geishas singing karaoke in Kyoto to Buddhist monks whizzing around Tokyo on motorbikes, Japan is a fascinating land of contrasts, a heady mix of tradition and modernity that often bewilders but never bores.

Nowhere in the world blends the old and new quite like Japan. The speed of new technological developments here is matched only by the longevity of its ancient customs and traditions. The country is a pioneer in the fields of design, technology, fashion and cuisine. You can set your watch by the trains, eat meals that look like works of contemporary art and relieve yourself in the most technologically advanced toilets on the planet (some even talk to you).

Paradoxically, Japan s embrace of the cutting edge is offset by its revered cultural traditions and celebrated historic achievements. Crumbling castles, atmospheric Buddhist temples, Shinto shrines and fascinating festivals are never far away, with historic highlights including the striking Himej ... Read more »

Fabled land of lakes and volcanoes, Nicaragua also lays claim to vibrant colonial cities, deserted beaches and wildlife-rich rainforests. It s Costa Rica, without the crowds for now, at least. The largest country in Central America, Nicaragua is also the safest and one of the cheapest. That visitor numbers are increasing should come as no surprise.

What Nicaragua lacks in standout cultural attractions it compensates for with natural beauty. Its reefs and rainforests are hotbeds of biodiversity and teem with jaguars, monkeys and myriad bird species (though how this idyll will look after the Nicaragua Grand Canal has been built remains to be seen).

The country s wild landscapes are fertile ground for thrill-seekers. Visitors can go hiking, biking, kayaking and wild swimming in the country s iconic crater lakes.
